Bills: RB James Cook (toe) has 'a chance' to play Week 7

Joe Buscaglia on X

Oct 15 · 6:16 PM EDT

Bills HC Sean McDermott said he thinks RB James Cook and DT Ed Oliver "have a chance" to play against the Titans on Sunday. He says his hope is that both play.

Related players: Ray Davis

Fantasy Impact:

Cook was ultimately was ruled out on Monday night in what many felt was a bit of a surprise. Those in the dynasty community have been well aware of Davis and his potential. Davis is considered "old" for a rookie, already 25, but many felt he was NFL-ready, and he showed that on MNF: rushing for 97 and leading the Bills in receiving with a 3-55-0 line. Twice, once after a penalty, Davis was denied a chance for a TD on the 1-yard line and Josh Allen took it in or Davis' fantasy production would have been a few points higher. Still, Davis could have earned himself more work going for forward, but at the very least has fantasy value as a handcuff to Cook owners.

Bills RB James Cook (toe) OUT for MNF

Adam Schefter on X

Another Monday night inactive surprise at RB: James Cook is out tonight due to his toe injury, per source. It’s the first NFL game in three seasons that Cook has missed.

Related players: Ray Davis, Ty Johnson, Frank Gore, Jr.

Fantasy Impact:

Cook is unable to go tonight. The Bills added to that speculation a few hours ago when they announced rookie RB Gore would suit up. Davis could be in line for the early down work with Johnson getting passing downs. Gore could also mix in as well. It will be a tough matchup against the Jets on the road.

Bills RB James Cook misses second straight practice

RB James Cook (foot/toe) remained sidelined at Thursday’s Bills practice. Cook’s second straight absence. Looking less likely that he will play against the Jets, but the longer week gives him a better chance.

Related Players: Ray Davis, Ty Johnson

Fantasy Impact:

If Cook were to miss Week 6, it's hard to say how the backfield load would get divvied up. Obviously Ty Johnson has more experience than rookie Ray Davis, but it's the latter who leads in the carry department, 26-10. Davis feels like the better pick-up, but neither one would carry a full bellcow load regardless, which makes them iffy spot-starts.

RB Leonard Fournette to sign with Bills

Jordan Schultz on X

Oct 30, 2023 · 1:53 PM EDT

Leonard Fournette tells me he’s in Buffalo and is planning to sign with the Bills today, pending a physical.

Related players: James Cook, Latavius Murray

Fantasy Impact:

"Playoff Lenny" had nearly 1,200 all-purpose yards, including a career-high 523 receiving yards, along with 6 TDs last season, Schultz went on to say. Fournette's role in the offense could come in the passing game, an area where Cook has been hit and miss. In Week 8 Cook had just one catch for six yards, but collected three catches for 46 yards and a TD in Week 7. Fournette could also steal some goal line TDs should the Bills opt to go away from Allen in those situations.
